Bearing Gifts


This is a scheduled post as we are in Calgary visiting family for a family reunion. 

Our challenge this week at Phindy's Place is to create a card or other paper crafted project featuring DIE CUTS.

I encourage you to pop over to Phindy's store and check out all the wonderful images, including her new $2.70 collection of basic but very versatile digis.  Any of these would look wonderful with die cuts and if you enter a project featuring a Phindy image, don't forget you can enter a second time this week.

I have used one of Phindy's new images called Garden Gnome and made my die cuts with both my Cricut and Spellbinders.  Add a lot of distressing to some lovely papers, a big butterfly along with some pearls and you have a card.  Sounds simple, so why do I take so long to make each card - hmmmm?

Image:  Garden Gnome (Phindy's Place)
Sentiment:  Create with TLC
Card Stock: Red (Wassau), Gold (Recollections)
Papers:  Floral/Dot (October Afternoon)
Colouring Medium:  Pencil Crayons (Prismacolors) with OMS (Gatrick)
Tools & Embellishments:  Butterfly Punch (Martha Stewart), Pearl Stickers (Recollections), Chalk (Mungyo), Cricut, Labels 10 Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Circle Punch (EK Paper Shapers)
